Of course we ate--sloppy joes, tortilla chips and dip, salad, cake, Snickers cheesecake, carmels, and bourbon fudge. Oh, and Suzanne made this cabbage dish:
I hear it was yummy!
Our book for this month was, The Necklace: Thirteen Women and the Experiment That Transformed Their Lives by Cheryl Jarvis.
We had mixed feelings about this book. Some enjoyed reading about the friendship that developed between these women who started out pretty much as strangers. Some people thought that the women in the book were just too materialistic. Some people compared the group of women to our reading group of women! Most of us agreed that good things came out of this experiment like, fundraising for good causes, and just making lots of people smile. Overall, I don't think we would recommend the book.
As usual we had some great laughs.
Kim and Phyllis
Nancy, Kathy, and Jan
And good discussions.

Also Karen practicing her Grandma skills to get ready for the first grandchild.
We voted for our favorite books so far. Each person got to vote three times. Jackie used all of her votes at once while Susie encouraged her!
We had a visiting book club member, Emmitt. He is getting ready to read our book for next month--The Shack.
